I do not sell any products. Please see sellers links below. ​Noisy roosters can be quietened down by the use of a rooster collar. It will not stop a rooster from crowing but can reduce the level of the sound he makes. This works by restricting the amount of air he can draw in when attempting to crow. The effectiveness of a rooster collar will depend on the breed and the correct or incorrect positioning of the collar. Different brands can make a difference. The NO CROW collars are wider and have a breathable mesh. The COCK COLLARS are all one piece of velcro but are more beneficial on the sho ..read more

I am truly honoured to be featured in the Feb/March 2021 issue of Australasian Poultry magazine.

​This is post from an unknown author on a poultry Facebook group. Levamisole is the active ingredient in broad-spectrum chicken worming products. It is one of the most effective products to use. However, I often hear about people using it in a food source rather than given as a liquid. I always recommend the liquid way given with a 5ml syringe. The article below is written from a goat owner's perspective, but also applies to chickens. For those who advise adding Levamisole (worming product) - Kilverm, Nilverm, Avitrol etc to treats such as bread or porridge, it's really not an appropriate w ..read more

Heritage hens have a laying cycle that has a ..read more
